Molton Brown shower stuff like someone has already mentioned.

She also sent me some links for various make-up bits as she likes that kind of stuff. MAC (very big makeup brand) have dedicated stores and you can book 1 hour makeup tutorial/makeover sessions etc for £60 (not that she needs it) but I plan to book one of those as she has said before that sometimes she doesn’t feel confident in using various products. Also, the £60 it costs, if you want to buy the products that the pro makeup artists has used, you can purchase them against that original £60 cost for the session. Sounds really good to me!
Sounds like a load of st to me!

Small flower arrangement, mainly in green and cream as they were her favourite.
If that means what I think it means, then I am so sorry.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to laugh at that?

This year is different to most, she actually told me what she wanted: A pair of Hunter Wellies. Purchased.

And relax.
If the wellies are for proper use and not just posing they're rubbish, take them back and buy Ariat. Hunter went bust and another company bought the name and the quality has dropped massively. I've got a pair of Hunter wellies that are over 10 years old and still good, wife bought some of the current ones and had to take them back, local tack shop won't stock them.

If you really want to be posh buy her some Dubarry's.

I read it that way too.
Cold, I hope you are doing OK?

PH has an amazing way of putting life starkly into perspective. Here was me having read the title ready to mope about being on my own for the first time in 8 years, with a marriage down the swanny. In retrospect, I am still very glad to have my health and most of my sanity. A good a time as any to remind loved ones that they are just that.

Sorted something from Howard on here, delighted with the result.

Just need some smaller stuff to go with them now.

Oh wow, wasn't expecting any of that! laugh

Thanks for the concern but it was a long time ago and she never liked too much of a fuss at this time of year anyway, but it's quite a nice little tradition that's developed. Especially the bit where I head for Gatwick soon afterwards. biggrin

Molton Brown bath and shower stuff is hideously expensive for what it is (I can buy a years worth of shower gel and shampoo for the price of one 300ml MB Shower Gel) but is well received. Online or in the shop they will box it up so it looks posh. It is the home of the £40 candle.
John Lewis has got all Molton Brown discounted at the moment

Yes, there is such a thing as a cupholder for a pushchair.
Obviously. Use it to put your beer when you walk to the pub at lunchtime on a Saturday to get him/her to sleep.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Its that time of year again.

Panic, stress, lack of sleep, mental block, and the constant fight or flight feeling. All because we cant think of a damn thing to get our other half.

So to anyone that's sorted, throw us a bone, please.
We've agreed a truce this yr, last year was a gravy boat and a monopoly set.
